The love of a good wife

a good wife
Today my husband came home, and whispered in the tones of a dying man:

'I don't feel so well… I may have caught the flu.'

My first thought was: 'Tough! You'll just have to keep going, just like I do!'
But then it hit me: if hubby was home, then I could make a break for it!

Why don't you have a nice lie down honey!

So I tenderly told him: 'Why don't you have a nice lie down honey, and tomorrow you'll call in sick. You can lie on the couch with a blanket, and watch the kids, while I pop out. It will give me a chance to do some grocery shopping, go to the library, and perhaps have a nice quiet lunch with me, myself and I.

I suddenly feel much better

For a while my husband stayed silent. Then he said, in a much stronger voice than before:

'What do you know?! I suddenly feel much better! I do believe I'll go to work tomorrow, for some peace and quiet.'

    Last night I had a terrible nightmare, about the end of the world. This big tsunami swept over our house and took everything with it.

    When we were preparing our move to the country, every Saturday we would visit the building site that was going to be our future home. We admired the holes in the walls, the electric wires hanging loose, and the overall mess. It was obviously a work in progress, even we could see that! Because personally,...

  • Soup Envy

    My husband and I wage a silent battle about who works the hardest, and who's the most tired. But apart from that, we fight about who can cook the best soup. Bland versus spicy Hubby says his soup tastes the best, but I think it's more bland than Tinkiewinkie without his red purse. So I...

  1. LOL, OMG! You have me in stitches with this one. I know this scenario so well. You've inpsired me to write about it (perhaps in a day or two). I have to say though, you are suave, my inner harpie would have come out at that statement, but I'm still mommy new to mommyhood and still getting my head around being a wife... even though its been 5 yrs :0) Thanks for making me laugh and showing me how it's done ;0)
